Music Streaming Tech Advice Please!

[andrewducker]

If I wanted a box I could stick in my kitchen that would stream music from any DLNA-compliant server, what would the best option be?

Must be all-in-one (nothing that needs added speakers), and have a reasonably simple interface.

My searches are showing up all sorts of things that plug into TVs, but no collection of things that are entirely stand alone. You'd think that "Stream your music to the kitchen" would be a selling point...

Note: I'm not looking for "Spend a large wodge of cash on Sonos" here. I'd like something standards compliant that will hook into my existing standards-compliant infrastructure.

Radio machine up and running.

I can listen to radio, digital radio, internet, internet podcasts. Not tried listening to music on a server or a subscription service.

Sounds good.

Interface is a little clunky and so far I've not worked out if the iphone app will let me drive the radio (cool if it does) or not (not so cool because it was kinda of implied in the brochure).

Cheers - I'd love to see it in action. I've been meaning to organise a pub thing with you, but I've been ill for a few days, under a lot of stress, and have jury service lined up for this week. Once the current wall of stress passes I really will sort something out!

Feel free to pop round and have a gander.

Pint or it's equivalent much looked forward to.

It's the season to be ill. I had a nasty cold between Christmas and New Year.

Jury service is an odd thing. I'm not sure I've ever written anything my brief experience with it.
